I maybe agree with your normalized top 20 that it should be higher than some other games there, or some of the other games there should be lower.

Before the judges submit their final scores, they should be able to view a sorted list of their individual results. Or, why not let the judges simply order the games as oppose to assigning a number to them? The ordering itself could establish a score. For instance, if there were 50 games, the lowest in the sequence would be assigned 0% and the highest 100%. Everything else would be, in this case, 2% higher than its predecessor. I think that would have prevented Frog Solitaire and Rainbow Road from sharing the coveted 20th place.

What were you thinking?! 2 judges put Rainbow Road in first place, the community put it in first place, and you put it in 20th place!

In fact, take a look at ApoBlockLock4k, an implementation of Rush Hour, Nob Yoshigahara's sliding block puzzle from the 1970's. Rush Hour puts the player in the role of a parking lot attendant that needs to figure out a way to get a car out of a congested lot. You put ApoBlockLock4K 5 places above Rainbow Road. Meaning, you'd rather re-park cars than race them?! From a game play and a technological achievement point of view, I can't imagine how you came up with this ordering.

In your review of Rainbow Road, you wrote, "Oh my... this must be what it feels like driving on a rainbow. I was expecting a relaxed driving experience, but I got a thrilling and... a competitive race. One of the more interesting racing car 4k game made."

You never played the N64 game that this 4K game was based on? You never played any version of Mario Kart? Why are you even a judge?

The developers on this forum spend hours to days on their entries, sometimes pouring their hearts into their efforts. For every negative point that appears in your review, try to come up with something positive to balance it out.
